What is spinal decompression?

It is a non-invasive treatment on a specialized table. During a session you lie on the table while your spine is gently and intermittently stretched and relaxed. The amount of traction can be adjusted to the patient. The clinic offers it for people with disc problems such as bulging or herniated discs.

What is a session like?

One of the clinic's providers sets you up on the table, which is attached to a therapy station. The table moves to provide traction, and the spine is stretched and relaxed in turn. If you have questions about how long it takes or how many sessions a plan might include, ask at your appointment, because that depends on you.

What does the research say?

We would rather describe the table than promise a result. The official sources we cite on this site don't report a result for decompression tables, so this page doesn't claim one. For what they do say, read back pain after a wreck and what a herniated disk is , and what the research says about spinal manipulation , which is a different treatment.

Who decides whether it fits?

You and Dr. Spallone, after an assessment. Decompression may be part of your plan, or it may not. Treatment plans may also include exercises and rehabilitation techniques, along with chiropractic care .

If you were hurt in a crash, start with car accident and whiplash care instead.
